Factory Super Moto's Part1: 250's

Supermoto's are beginning to catch on here in the states, especially with today's gas prices. So here's a look at factory supermotos. I know most racing supermotos are based on more competitive platforms. So I've organized a list of all the factory models that I know of. To start us off is the lightweight 250 group. All the bikes are Japanese. Honda offered a motard version of their XR250 in Japan long before the others caught on. Now Suzuki, and recently Yamaha and Kawasaki have jumped in too. Yes the Suzuki is a 400cc, but I included it here because all the other bikes are European.

2005 Honda XR250 Motard
2008 Yamaha WR250X
2009 Kawasaki KLX250SF
2005 Suzuki DR-Z400SM
